New ones probably use something newer. The 20 year old elevator in a hospital will only be upgraded if something breaks.

We are far away from the release of the Raspberry Pi if that screen is running an early version of Windows CE. Putting a PC in the elevator to drive the screen was probably the most cost effective solution.

Yes? That is not that unusual and it is mentioned in the third sentence of the article.

As I rode up to the 14th floor, my eyes were drawn to a screen built into the side of the lift.

It’s probably only the screen component that is running an old version of embedded windows.

Diablo 2 came out in the year 2000 it has ladder seasons.

I really like it as well. I did three major version upgrades so far and they have been flawless. I also really like Flatpak, finally a way of easily installing something on Linux without breaking half of the system because the application you wanted to install uses libfoo 2.0 and not libfoo 1.9.9-patch-1337. With my atomic desktop applications that worked yesterday also work today. Things don’t randomly break all the time.

The future of Fedora Atomic also looks exciting; Timothée Ravier is working on sysexts which are a way of installing applications without ostree layering. I could remove most of my ostree layered packages with that.

Garmin is currently in the process of enshittifing their products as well.

We use OpenProject at my job and its pretty good. You can use Nextcloud as a document repository and integrate it with OpenProject.

Coq cowardly renamed their project because of this.

Its Lunduke, a self-proclaimed a-political tech journalist. You can pretty much disregard anything that spews from his mouth.

I think even a relaunch with only the first campaign at the start could revitalize the community. I’d wager there are plenty of people who would want to relive the glory days of Guild Wars 1.

There seems to be a market for classic mmorpgs. I wonder why Guild Wars didn’t already receive the Wow Classic treatment.

There is the unfortunately abandoned MorroUI.

If you really do, blend the dried leaves from multiple plants. The psychoactive ingredients can be unevenly distributed throughout the plant. This means that you could unintentionally overdose without changing the amount you take.

Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a nasty horror trip if you consume to much of it.

That isn’t really an issue as PebbleOS is open source.

All the images in this article are AI generated. The author admitted this after being explicitly asked.

You make it sound like a huge conspiracy but there are laws and regulations around everything you try to sell, especially for electronics.

You also have to do EMF radiation testing, ensure that your printer doesn’t produce toxic aerosols or fumes, and probably a bunch of other things to prove that your product is safe. I don’t see why the fingerprinting isn’t just another thing on the list of things you have to do to be in compliance with the rules. If your company is capable of producing something as complex as a printer, encoding the device’ serial number into a bunch of yellow microdots that you add to the printout shouldn’t be an issue.
